Increasingly, academic communities transcend national boundaries. “Collaboration between researchers across space is clearly increasing, as well as being increasingly sought after,” noted the online magazine Inside Higher Ed in a recent article about research in the social sciences and humanities. Even for those scholars who don’t work directly with international colleagues, staying up-to-date and relevant requires keeping up with international currents of thought in one’s field. But when one’s colleagues span the globe, it’s not always easy to keep track of who’s who—or what kind of research they’re conducting. That’s where Intellect’s new series comes in. A set of worldwide guides to leading academics—and their work—across the arts and humanities, Who’s Who in Research features comprehensive profiles of scholars in the areas of cultural studies, film studies, media studies, performing arts, and visual arts.

Who's Who in Research: Visual Arts includes concise yet detailed listings include each academic’s name, institution, biography, and current research interests, as well as bibliographic information and a list of articles published in Intellect journals. The volumes in the Who’s Who in Research series will be updated each year, providing the most current information on the foremost thinkers in academia and making them an invaluable resource for scholars, hiring committees, academic libraries, and would-be collaborators across the arts and humanities.

Her Ph.D. research is practice-led and concerned with 'graphic communication design', investigating the communicative capacity of vernacular art in indigenous settings. She is exploring Pakistani vernacular visual media within user-centred graphic communication design. Visually, these are immensely vibrant and exotic but are uncharted territory in terms of communication. Hena is investigating sign systems located within indigenous visual media, exploring the influence of content and context on how they are read. Her research suggests graphic design as a paradigm in which indigenous art can be critically located and discussed as communication. The research findings will include a 'graphic communication design' schema of practice to facilitate the design of visual communications targeting low-literacy groups.
